    Existence proof of librational invariant tori in an averaged model of HD60532 planetary system

    We investigate the long-term dynamics of HD60532, an extrasolar system hosting two giant planets orbiting in a 3:1 mean motion resonance. We consider an average approximation at order one in the masses which r...

    Invariant KAM Tori: From Theory to Applications to Exoplanetary Systems

    We consider the classical problem of the construction of invariant tori exploiting suitable Hamiltonian normal forms. This kind of approach can be translated by means of the Lie series method into explicit com...

    Exponential Stability in the Perturbed Central Force Problem

    We consider the spatial central force problem with a real analytic potential. We prove that for all analytic potentials, but for the Keplerian and the harmonic ones, the Hamiltonian fulfills a nondegeneracy pr...

    A reverse KAM method to estimate unknown mutual inclinations in exoplanetary systems

    The inclinations of exoplanets detected via radial velocity method are essentially unknown. We aim to provide estimations of the ranges of mutual inclinations that are compatible with the long-term stability o...

    Rigorous estimates for the relegation algorithm

    We revisit the relegation algorithm by Deprit et al. (Celest. Mech. Dyn. Astron. 79:157–182, 2001) in the light of the rigorous Nekhoroshev’s like theory. This relatively recent algorithm is nowadays widely used ...

    Secular dynamics of a planar model of the Sun-Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus system; effective stability in the light of Kolmogorov and Nekhoroshev theories

    We investigate the long-time stability of the Sun-Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus system by considering a planar secular model, which can be regarded as a major refinement of the approach first introduced by Lagrange. I...

    On the convergence of an algorithm constructing the normal form for elliptic lower dimensional tori in planetary systems

    We give a constructive proof of the existence of elliptic lower dimensional tori in nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems. In particular we adapt the classical Kolmogorov normalization algorithm to the case of...

    Effective stability around the Cassini state in the spin-orbit problem

    We investigate the long-time stability in the neighborhood of the Cassini state in the conservative spin-orbit problem. Starting with an expansion of the Hamiltonian in the canonical Andoyer-Delaunay variables...

    On the extension of the Laplace-Lagrange secular theory to order two in the masses for extrasolar systems

    We study the secular evolution of several exoplanetary systems by extending the Laplace-Lagrange theory to order two in the masses. Using an expansion of the Hamiltonian in the Poincaré canonical variables, we...

    A semi-analytic algorithm for constructing lower dimensional elliptic tori in planetary systems
